The 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang is being auctioned for charity by Ford Motor Company at the 2015 Cattle Baron’s Ball on Saturday September 26 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan.
Ford’s Hua Thai Tang, Group Vice President of Global Purchasing will be serving as Cattle Baron’s Ball Honorary Chair and will be bringing a unique 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang to auction with the proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The one-of-one Shelby GT350R will have an Oxford White exterior with blue stripes and a custom interior with unique matching stitching on the rear seats. Yes, this will be the first GT350R ever to come with a back seat. If you are a future GT350R owner and feeling a little envious of this charity vehicle, you need not be.
Ford Performance Parts has plans to offer the rear seat install kit (sans the custom-matched stitching) for the GT350R and they have informed Mustang6G that the kit is scheduled to be on sale in the fourth quarter of 2015. Pricing has yet to be finalized.
